The Precision 185 represents a refined evolution in the small-boat portfolio of Precision Boat Works, designed specifically for sailors who prioritize cockpit space and spirited performance over overnight accommodations. While the older Precision 18 was defined by its "maxi-trailerable" cabin, the 185 was conceived by designer Jim Taylor as a high-performance daysailer that bridges the gap between a pure racing dinghy and a stable pocket cruiser. Measuring 18 feet 5 inches with a generous 7-foot 4-inch beam, the 185 is characterized by its large, open cockpit and a modern, efficient underwater profile. It was built using the same robust hand-laminated fiberglass techniques that defined the Porter brothers' tenure in Palmetto, Florida, ensuring a level of structural integrity often missing in mass-produced daysailers of this size.
